I just noticed how hunched I am. I look at my shadow when I'm sitting on my chair and its like my head is a foot in front of my back. It looks ridiculous. I probably got it from sitting poorly on my computer chair and not leaning back to sit straight.

Is this normal?

One of my friends sits perfectly straight and stands perfectly straight. But it looks like she was forcing it or something.

A person's natural sitting posture is slightly slouched, but... not to the extent of your head sticking out that much, I guess.

As for me, I'm comfortable having a straight back sitting OR standing (i'm the only person who voted "straight", apparently +_+). I think it's something I took away from gymnastics, along with tucking my tummy and butt in. And I have large-ish boobs, which also accounts for why I straighten my back most of the time to counter the *ahem* weight.

I am pretty straight when i am sitting or standing. This is the only way i can be comfortable if i am going to be in these positions for considerable time. Therefore, i think i have quite a straight back.

I have a hunchback.
I think it's like my vertebrae is too weak to support my body tho.
Sux... I always had a hunchback & always got yelled at by my parents.
I also sleep in the fetal position too. Funny... cuz I used to hear some snapping sounds when I would try to sit up straight... now I don't tho.

Mines straight but sometimes when i sit down and tired I slouch a bit lol. Also to the original topic starter, you need to correct your posture, you dont want you're back to get more and more curved, just dont slouch and over time it will get straighter!

I have a slightly hunched back -- probably from spending hours and hours slouching over the computer. I slouch when I sit too, so that's probably not too good ;x I fix my posture as best as I can when I stand up, though. It's not too hard o: since I have to sit up straight when I play piano, anyway.

I have a straight back but when I am sitting down, it is the opposite, just laziness and can't be bothered.

Same here. When I am facing the computer I slouch. Thus, I tend to have a slightly hunched back but I try to straighten things out when I'm standing. Playing the piano helps too since it's really ugly to look at someone playing and with his/her back hunched. Martial arts is a good way of developing posture too.

My posture is straight sitting, standing or walking. My body doesn't know any other way to position itself. Some people force it while others look natural. It's only when I have my feet up on the couch and curled up that I tend to let go a bit but my lower back tends to want to remain straight.

Mine's straight
When I'm tired or sitting too long infront of the computer I tend to hunch a little..
When I walk it is defenitely straight and up right also when I'm in heels.
Kickboxing and modeling well it kinda requires for you to have a straight back :]
